He led the 4004 project and the design group during the first five years of Intel's microprocessor effort. While working at Fairchild Semiconductor in 1968 he created the self-aligned MOS silicon-gate technology, and after the 4004 he led development of the Intel 8008 and 8080. He was co-founder, with Ralph Ungermann, and CEO of Zilog.
